I also remembering him lauding Kaepernick as potentially becoming one of the "all time greats". I like Jaws, but he sells the drama and hyperbole a little too much at times.

*Hunt will not command top dollar. He's going to have to take a low guarantee, short term "show me deal". Perfect for a team like the Bills, and I think good for Hunt. A low tier media market could be what he needs to get back into the league, mentally. If you keep McCoy, Hunt would be a nice 50/50 option early in the year, and as the season progresses you could phase the egotistical, washed up and locker room cancer out. Players on the 90s teams did far worse than Hunt, and they're now lauded, so please spare me the moral high ground position.

With very hight % hit rate for RB in Rds 2-4.

Think about who's been throwing him the ball.

They're getting hammered due to the trend of loading up on FA while your QB is on his rookie deal. 25-30 million is going to be the cap rate for a competent QB, while elite RBs 12-15 million. Giants will catch the same heat as Bills fans were dishing on the 2017 draft, before JA showed the goods, if they can't find a future QB. But I agree in the sense you don't pass on a HOF talent.

Agreed (Virgil). I'd like the Bills to benefit by finding a solid upper tier RB in the draft and not over pay. Have the skill players and line develop together. If they're a stud, pay market value to keep your own, when the time comes. I really like round 3 obviously, but Mack, Cohen and Carson after is really good...

Low risk, high reward. Didn't he have a two TDs taken away on catch rule interpretations a couple of years ago? I remember him being pretty talented in space. I think they should get this guy in the building.

The 2017 RB draft class looks to be one for the ages. It begs the question, why would you wants the Bills to tie up large money in a FA or McCoy? The way the front office has been able to grab talent and value in the later rounds leads me to believe they could find really good RBs from Rd 3 on. I grabbed this from Bill Barnwell of ESPN. I didn't realize how great this class really was. Carson in the 7th? Wow.

Living in center city Philadelphia for a good deal of time it was hard for me not to become a fan of the hometown teams. With the Bills being in the AFC and living in an NFC town, conflicts of interest don't happen often. But when they do, I'm for the Bills all the way. The fans here are very knowledgeable and not the mouth breathing heathens the national media makes them out to be, with the typical lazy "they threw snowballs at Santa" narrative.

Ideally if I'm running an organization, I want a player in a single digit draft position to be a foundational two contract player. This team is more than a WR1 away from being a consistent playoff team with an outside chance of winning it all. The goal of the franchise should be not to pick this high again. Find a foundational in the trenches player you can build around and have here for 6-10 years. AB will not be the AB you know within this organization, production wise. How long would he be here? You'll get a talented malcontent that could hinder the development of younger players around him. This team is not setup to bring a guy like him into the fold, locker room wise. Shoot, he can't even get along with HOF talent in the Pittsburg locker room. What would he do here? Supremely talented? Yes. But, I'm not sure we'd get the production from the high dollar amount, draft capital and possibly a player invested.

Whoever is the BPA on the OL or DL. These positions are the easiest to forecast future success at the NFL level. Figures they've missed baddy with highly picked OL and DL in the past.

Better to say goodbye a year too early than late. He's not a unique talent at this point of his career.

Media types have been saying Golden Tate was going to command a lot of money, but I don't see it. If he takes a fair market deal, I think he'd be a great slot target for Adams. He's physicality and YAC could open other areas of the offense up.

What do Fred Jackson, Priest Holmes, Arian Foster, our own Ivory and Lindsay have in common? Talent is out there. I think Josh Adams is next on that list, too. They need to get lucky. If teams had the slightest idea Lindsay was going to be this good he would not have made it past rd. 3. Bills need just good old fashion luck.

Gross hyperbole at it's finest...

McCoy has 0 value. I've been saying this all year. I don't know why our fan base thinks any different? I think the best the organization could hope for is a conditional 5th or 6th round pick. He's paid as an elite talent, and he's nowhere near that anymore. The time has come where the burden of his attitude and ego do not out weigh his talent. He's just not aware of it yet. Contrary to what a number of people think he's not a good "locker room" guy. On a crap team where he's the alpha, he can fake it. He's not a character high talent individual you want the younger players on the roster to emulate. Cut the loss and bid him farewell. Draft a high production SEC or Big Ten RB in the 2-4 rd, and bring in some UDFAs that had bad luck their senior year like Adams and Clement W/the Eagles. Hopefully hit on one of these lotto tickets. In addition sign Yeldon or Coleman as FA and see if they can get some traction that way.

He's had his window to show he can start, he failed. Nothing wrong with 10+ year career as a spot starter and good QB room presence. He flamed out in Philadelphia, Chicago and Cincinnati. If his agent is any good and he has a level head on his shoulders, if Buffalo gives him a contract past this year he'd be crazy not to sign it.

Well, you used gross hyperbole to relate two topics that are not connected. I haven't read one post that didn't think what he did wasn't wrong.

This has nothing to do with politics. But if I was to pick sides on who would traditionally line up where, I think it would look like this: Far right: lock him up and throw away the key, punish him into perpetuity Far left: poor kid, he didn't mean it, he been oppressed Most rational people know that's an idiotic way of looking at things. How does what you posted relate in any fashion to this discussion? But idiots like you want to politicize everything. Not everything is black or white, pun intended (simply defined one way or another). A lot of shades of grey here.

Hopefully he's a lot smarter then Ben. He needs to stay off motorcycles and out of seedy bathrooms and not force women to do things against their will.

Tyron's Friend: I make the comparison to Rice because every media outlet has made the comparison and I don't see it. We agree on McCoy, get him out of here. But he isn't, so why not Hunt? Hypocrisy runs rampant in all avenues of sport, especially the NFL. This team is entertainment, nothing more. And they've done a pretty crappy job at it for the past 20 years. I'm not looking for the Bills set an example of moral high ground. I know what's right and wrong and teach my children such. If you don't think players already on the current roster haven't done the same if not worse, you're taking a naive view of things. Why do you watch the NFL at all? He's 23 and obviously very immature. Like I originally said, in this situation it takes two for it to have escalated to the point it did. Sometimes people need guidance and positive influence. Who's to say the holy rollers within the organization couldn't "save" this young man. I've seen enough domestic matters to know the woman isn't always the damsel in distress. Not PC, but I don't care. If that was my daughter I'd be disappointed in her, too. Is it ever right to hit a woman, no. But I also was fortunate to have been raised in an environment that stressed what was right/wrong and didn't have to rely on certain survival mechanisms. I think of Warren Buffett in his documentary when he stated he was lucky to be born male, white and into a good family. He'll pay the price, more so then the average Joe. Why can't the Bills help this young man and entertain us in the process?

After watching the video I don't see the comparison to Ray Rice. Was he in the wrong and a total idiot? Yes. It takes two, and this young lady was instigating the process every step of the way. The Ray Rice video was in another league in comparison. He was cut because he lied to the organization on the severity of the altercation. He'll pay the price, but compared to Big head Ben, Mixon, Hill, Hardy, or take your pick of FSU QBs, he'll be claimed. Why shouldn't it be the Bills? The roster isn't full of choir boys. If he gets help and can show he's doing everything the right way it's a low risk acquisition. Football is entertainment, as we've seen, the industry is cesspool. We shouldn't bank on them on being a societal moral compass. McCoy is on this team, enough said.

I see them walk in, the first thing I do is look to my phone to see if the the defense apposing any one of them is available on the waiver wire in my fantasy league. Pick 6, BABY!!!

If Sammy had/has an "ego" problem, the Bills as always had a talent evaluation and value problem. Sammy is none of those guys. 5+ years in the league, where coaches jobs are on the line week to week, if he was that good they'd find a way to get him to produce.

You have to see if he's interested, though I doubt he'd sign here. From a skill-set standpoint he has all the tools. Sammy sleaves is either heading back to Minnasota or New York.
